I am slightly discombobulated. My T reckons I can go forth and just contact her if things go south (sticking with the citalopram for now tho'). After sturdily agreeing with her and saying it is time, it is the right time and the right time is now, I feel strangely lost without a session booked on our recently 4 week cycle.

I know that feeling, like the just-in-case backup has been removed and you suddenly feel wobbly like a 3-legged table. Maybe you can book a massage instead. I used to get a massage every other week. It was almost as good as psychotherapy, and it's listed as an alternative therapy for depression and anxiety.
Thanks for this!

I think it would be normal for you to feel this way. When we are in the habit of getting that ongoing support its a little scary to know we don't have the safety of an appointment set up. I think it will get better with time.
I know it took getting used to when my t and I started stretching sessions out to only every four weeks. It took some adjustment to get used to.

Three legged table, or as I prefer chair - that's it.

Feel better already.

I've never ended therapy well or wound down. It was just abrupt. Either they left or I did. Was pretty tough. I don't know what it'll be like to wind down like that.
